Descendants of former Pine Run residents choose Pine Run for their retirement for its longstanding commitment to creating a vibrant lifestyle combined with the security of being a part of the Doylestown Health system

“He loved it, loved it, loved it here,” said Elizabeth Lyle of the 10 years her father lived at Pine Run Retirement Community, Bucks County’s leading senior health care and retirement community. “He just blossomed when he got here, so when it came time for me to choose a retirement community, Pine Run was the natural choice.”

Seeing her dad, Donald Marsh, so fully enjoy his retirement at Pine Run’s lush, 43-acre campus near Doylestown  played a pivotal role in Lyle’s decision to move to Pine Run in 2020.

“He went to cocktail parties, played pool and became so active. He just wasn’t the quiet, not-very-social father that I had known,” said Lyle. “Pine Run really brought another dimension to his life.”

Located on Ferry Road in Doylestown Township in Central Bucks County, Pennsylvania, Pine Run Retirement Community opened in 1976, one of the first retirement communities in Bucks County and the only one with a full-service, 200-bed regional Health Center devoted exclusively to senior health care. Doylestown Hospital purchased Pine Run in 1992, and, six years later, a personal care facility in Doylestown Borough, which is now Pine Run Lakeview.

Over the ensuing decades, the highly regarded retirement community and the continuum of care it offers under the auspices of the Doylestown Health network has attracted generations of families. Today, Pine Run continues to support seniors in living healthy, active lifestyles by offering a wealth of activities and amenities including a state-of-the-art fitness and aquatic center that make Pine Run a very desirable place to live.

“It’s like living at a resort,” said Lyle, of her Pine Run home, where she lives in a beautifully renovated custom cottage that “my dad wouldn’t recognize as Pine Run!” An unexpected benefit from moving to the community where her father had spent so many fulfilling years, she added, was, “there are Villagers here who were very good friends with my father, and 11 years later, when I came here, they shared all these memories with me. That’s just one more reason Pine Run is a very special place.”

Bruno Cavallo never imagined he’d be writing poetry in his 80’s. But, he is. And he’s winning awards along the way.

“I didn’t realize I had this kind of ability,” said Cavallo, a Villager at Pine Run Retirement Community in Doylestown Township. “It’s a different part of my brain that’s opened.”

Nourished by Pine Run’s wealth of enrichment activities, the friendliness of fellow Villagers, and the community’s commitment to healthy living, Cavallo said he found a new sense of freedom that unlocked his creativity.

“I’ve discovered a different side of me that I wasn’t aware of before, something totally out of my field,” said Cavallo, a retired aeronautical engineer and manager who spent 37 years with the U.S. Navy at the former Naval Air Development/Warfare Center in Warminster.

Cavallo isn’t alone. At Pine Run, every person finds not only peace of mind thanks to the community’s association with Doylestown Health and its continuum of care, but also enriching new friendships and endless opportunities to explore exciting aspects of life they may never have considered before.
